i love BMW but the only time a lease is attractive to me is when the down payment is less than 2k. this is why ive never leased a car |

In the end...I knew that a 135 would never be enough...and that the M3 was just too pricey for what it was (for me..that's damn close to P car territory). Anyone who 'scoffs' at BMW has never owned an M. |

I went from an M3 to the 135i and I couldn't be more happy, my 135i feels connected just like the M3, more than the new e9x m3 I think, I did not like the e9x at all, it is just too big and felt too big, I would choose a c6 vett before the e9x m3, they feel similar sized. |

I agree about the Corvette, which Is why I bought a SKY Redline. It looks like a mini Vette, it is on the exact same chassis, just shortened. And the 0-60 is a respectable 5.4 seconds. Plus a convertible to boot, and a very rare Eye Catching car that still gets boat loads of comments after 2 and 1/2 years of ownership!

I'm with you on the styling, I hate everything made after the e46 except the 1 series
and the base models are boring, I would not own one |

08 and early 09 only had a sport pack, 09 has sport or M with wheels on the M and shadowline and different trim some people dont like the shadowline so they made 2 separate package, but the real good stuff under the car is the same on both packages americans are badge whores, so the M logo on the trunk only comes on overseas markets, they dont want to take away M3 sales bmwusa sucks, overseas markets can customize the car exactly how they want, americans can only get "packages" and there's no mixing of options |

Actually the Z4 and the 1 series are nice looking. My Favorite of all time was this beast, but I could not afford it back then in early 2000's!

the mighty and venerable clown shoe! When they shoved the S54 in that thing it made it a crazy little car...one I'm sure MANY underestimated.

I'm not a fan of the hard top, but the soft top is the nicest 2 seater bmw has made in a long time IMO

minus will go to avis and rent a car, thats basically what you are doing......leasing a small car to drive to work and back makes a little sense but buying a ss camaro and fixing it up just to get rid of to me doesnt make sense especially with this economy right now.....either way do what makes you happy |

Coming from a E36 M3 I am doing a lot of research on which car do I really want. If money wasnt an issue I would def buy a E92 M3. I mean who can deny that beautiful german engineering right?
But for 60k thats way to much and out of my price range, so now I am considering a camaro and for 33k having a sick ass brand new 2ss maro doesnt sound bad at all. The 335i is fine and all but its not an M and can never perform like a M would. If only the 135tii would have been released in the us also, but like mentioned before bmwusa is a bunch of retarded mother f*ckers, look at they did with the E46 M3 csl.. perfection.. |

Both are great cars, but the M3 is a much much better car than the base engine corvette.....although I still think that they are to expensive... |
